The Saskatchewan Abilities Council in Yorkton recently unveiled a new accessible minvan. Re/Max Blue Chip Realty and the Kinsmen Telemiracle Foundation partnered to purchase the van, which cost more than $44,000.

John Denysek of the council says that previously, wheelchair users had no other option than to use a 10-passenger bus. The van can carry two wheelchairs along with a passenger and driver. It will help people take part in a new Saskatchewan Abilities individualized program, which provides one-on-one support for individuals in need.
